Colleges of Arts and SciencesProfessional ProgramsPre-professional students, i.e., students who plan to pursue careers such as Education, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Social Work, etc., often need extra course work and preparation and should seek academic advising as early as possible. For almost all professional schools, a liberal arts education such as that offered in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences provides an essential foundation. Some professional schools admit undergraduate students in transfer; others require that students complete a baccalaureate degree before being admitted. Most professional schools also have specific prerequisites that students must complete before applying. Pre-professional students should consult both the recommendations set by the appropriate national organization and the specific prerequisites of the professional schools they hope to attend. For students interested in health and law careers, the Health and Law Professions Advising Center (PAC) provides basic advising. A walk-in resource center located in QLCSS 101, PAC is staffed by trained peer mentors who assist students in clarifying career goals, choosing a major, planning appropriate course work, finding opportunities to gain experience, and applying to schools. Graduate ProgramsInformation regarding graduate programs and admission is in the “Graduate Education” section of the Catalog. Each department also includes information in its description about their specific program(s). Check specific departments for program requirements. Student OrganizationsSocieties and clubs associated with many departments within the Colleges of Arts and Sciences give students opportunities to explore a field from an informal perspective, get acquainted with other students with similar interests, and learn of the options available upon graduation.
